IPv6: Upgrade notes
When we upgrade to Security Access Manager WebSEAL version 7.0 from a previous version, IPv6 support is automatically disabled.
The upgrade module sets ipv6-support = no in the instance-specific configuration file. After an upgrade, we can enable support for IPv6 by manually editing the WebSEAL configuration to change the value of ipv6-support to yes.
For information, see Configure WebSEAL for IPv6 and IPv4 requests.
